Looks like access to the Ruined Castle/Solitary from Federal Pass and the Golden Stairs will be out of action for a while:

Fingers crossed that;
a) more pressure/work for opening other tracks/areas
b) the closure is not permanent.

Nooooooo! F#*K 2020!
I guess you'll be able to walk there from the other side once things are opened up again.
Must have collapsed towards the top where those geological movement marker things were.

NPWS website is now saying maintenance and clearing works are being undertaken during November 2020. Hopefully access will be reopened some time soon (probably via Federal Pass first I assume).
